My copy of the Odyssey has a big picture of George Clooney and the blazon 'The Book the Inspired "O Brother Where Art Thou"' on it in large bold letters. I think 'The Odyssey' features on the spine, but if it's on the cover at all its in very small print.
Jenners: This would likely be a medium-low ability high school freshman. You can tell it's pre-2002, because he or she uses capital letters.
